Clean Chocolate Protein Cake

May 15, 2014

This recipe came to be, by accident. That is kind of the story of my life, ha! I was craving protein pancakes for breakfast, but I suck at making pancakes. I just cannot master the art. There are SO many protein pancake recipes out there so I decided to start from scratch and find the perfect protein pancake recipe for me. I was mixing the batter then I had a light bulb go off in my head. I thought "why don't I just make this as a cake". So that is why I did. It is SUPER easy to make and delicious. I have been having this as my breakfast. It's packed with protein, complex carbohydrates, and a good amount of fiber. It is a balanced meal and perfect for when you are on the go. I love telling people I have been eating cake for breakfast and still losing weight. It's fun.

1 1/2 cups of oats

2 scoops of chocolate protein

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup of Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk

1 egg

1 egg white

2 tablespoons of liquid Stevia or 4 packs of Stevia

Optional: 2 tablespoons of dark chocolate morsels

What you do:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray a small cake pan thoroughly with nonstick spay (I use an 8 x 8)

Put ALL ingredients into a blender or food processor and mix until it forms a creamy, semi thick mixture (you could try mixing everything in a large bowl with a spoon if you do not have either of the above, but I am not sure how it would turn out. WalMart has cheap but good blenders such as this one)

Pour into batter into baking pan

Bake for 25-30 minutes

Let cool for 15-20 minutes

Enjoy as is, or top with fresh fruit!

I'm going to have to try this. Pete made these little protein muffins that were literally just protein powder and water... the flavor wasn't bad but they were so dry that he literally almost threw up trying to swallow one! hahaha
